Although I would say the whole front end is probably way over the top considering how well the standard 1/12th front end works without all the extra complication.


If anyone fancies trying the body, it's available from Tamiya.
Interesting...I had always heard that ROAR largely went along with IFMAR rules but it appears that is not the case. However it does look like they missed something...either they meant to put in a solid axle rule or it was in and they removed it...because in their ride height rule they make an exception for the spur gear. Now that only makes sense on a solid axle car since no matter how much the suspension moves the spur gear can never damage the carpet. But with an independent rear suspension if the gear protrudes past the chassis then it is possible for the gear to damage the carpet.
